"As we read Night, I have students keep track of the images and
emotions they find most vividly expressed. We then discuss Wiesel's
style, including his use of poetic devices such as repetition, and how his
style helps convey meaning and develop certain themes. After this
discussion, I show students how to create a 'found' poem - a poem
that uses words and phrases from various parts of the novel to examine an important idea. Finally, once a student has finished
his/her poem, he/she creates artwork that complements the mood of the
piece and rewrites the poem onto that artwork." -Erin Landvatter
